Bastei Bridge

The highlight of the morning is the world-famous Bastei Bridge. From its vantage point high above the Elbe Canyon, you’ll enjoy panoramic views that are nothing short of spectacular — the perfect place to capture memories and photos to treasure.

Neurathen Castle

Our adventure continues beyond the iconic Bastei Bridge to the magnificent Neurathen Fortress, a captivating sight nestled amidst the sandstone landscape. Prepare to be mesmerized by yet another stunning perspective of the Bastei Bridge, and the surrounding valley with forest theater. Neurathen Fortress offers more than just panoramas. We'll delve into the medieval era, exploring the remnants of the stronghold that once housed vigilant guards. But that's not all! Brace yourselves for a fascinating journey back in time as we uncover archaeological treasures dating back 100 million years, when the region was submerged beneath a vast sea.

Bohemian Switzerland National Park

After exploring Bastei Bridge and Neurathen Fortress, we'll embark on a scenic drive through the Elbe River Canyon to the Czech side of the National Park - Bohemian Switzerland. Our route will wind its way through charming villages like Bad Schandau and Hřensko, allowing you to soak up the beauty of the region's architecture. We'll also keep an eye out for the historical elevator to the observation tower, a Guinness World Record holder for being the oldest elevator of its kind. We'll also cruise by Pravčická Gate, a natural sandstone arch considered the iconic symbol of Bohemian Switzerland.
